Notes
How to Keep Avocado from Browning two ways:
- How to keep avocado from turning brown after cutting, toss the avocado dices in a tablespoon of lemon juice or olive oil. Since the salad contains both of these ingredients, you'll never taste the addition on the avocado once it's tossed and this will keep the avocado fresh in the salad
- This salad is best the day it's made. It will keep in the fridge for another day or so but keep in mind the ingredients will become soggier the longer it rests in the fridge.
- For best results, store the dressing separately and toss this strawberry avocado salad right before serving.
